This season I have not been able to get a good supply of
Skipjacks or Shad for catfish bait Since I do a lot of fishing
from a wterfront restraunt I have been given some of their scraps
for bait. This includes BBQ ribs, grilled steadk,prime rib and
shrimp. I have caught a number of blue and channel cats with the
steak and prime rib.

I saw the 22lb. 10 oz. channel cat a guy caught using White
Castle "chicken rings. My brother just told me he caught 2
channels cats today using McDonnalds chicken nuggets. I caught a
9 lb,3 oz. bluecat Oct 6 on a piece of chicken skin fron a Lee's
chicken dinner.

I and a number of people from the Cincinnati area catch catfish
using french fries. Any fast food brand will work. I also have
caught a channel cat with left over pizza dough.

Tips I have been told about for bait include chunks of uncooked
pork links. The person had this on the hook when a huge fish hit
and during the struggle broke the pole. They never saw the fish
so it could have been a carp or catfish.

The same person said try deep frying chuncks of Spam. It wll
stay on the hook much better that way. I have also been told that
a mixture of wheaties,ground beef and limburger cheese is a good
bait for both carp, blues and channel cats.

Thes baits can help you out in a pinch when no bait shops are
open near your fishing hole. Tight lines to all. NLCATFISH
